Open Comb Vs Closed Comb Safety Razor | Differences Explained

Looks like shaving has turned into an activity like cigar smoking. a relaxed way of taking care of a man's life.

The Shaving should be a ritual and relaxing moment, so closed comb for me

Every point you made was very valid. I've bought and used an open comb razor that held the blade at a very aggressive angle, no surprises that I don't use that particular razor anymore. After much trial and error I settled on using a combination razor where one side is open comb while the other side is closed, just because it suits how I live. You see sometimes I forget to shave for a week and when I finally get around to it the open comb does a great job of cutting away the long growth without the problem of a razor jammed up with hair, and with a final pass after re-lathering from the closed comb side the finished shave is excellent and smooth without any bloodshed.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video Chers!

THANKS BRIAN!!! After watching your tutorial on shaving with a safety razor i bought a full shaving kit with MÜHLE R106. I am happy with the results and even the shaving itself became fun and exciting! Been using cartridge razors all my life and never tried a safety razor. Got tired of cuts, redness and the price i pay for it. Joining the safety razor club :)

Well done. Thanks for the honesty, it's appreciated when social media today is saturated with monetized incentives... In my experience, an open comb is useful for a week's stubble head shave, if it offers more gap. Naturally, with more stubble, I would use a thick lather which is easier to whisk with an open comb. Generally, with more gap and open teeth, it becomes an easier shave with fewer passes. In comparison with all other things being equal, a closed comb would either take a little more time rinsing off build-up, or an extra pass is needed. For regular shaves, I am like you, a closed comb like the R89 is perfect.

Thank you Executive Shaving for that information! I've been considering what to use on my head and this was very informative and straight to the points needed. Cheers from Down Under!

Agreed. I bought both Mühle with closed and open comb because I wanted to know and have better results with less irritation with the closed design.

A good, honest, and straight to the point opinion. I like listening to this guy. Never complicates things.

In my opinion ,with the open comb you get a shaving more closer, but everybody has a different opinion. Thanks for your videos.

Have to agree with you Brian. The laws of physics say that you would get a more comfortable shave with a closed comb DE due to the glide being more continuous opposed to the open comb where you will have gaps. That’s the only difference, and/or benefit I can see between both types.

Great, straight forward, succinct review. Thank you

Great explanation , thank you

Howdy from Oklahoma. Thanks for the explanation of the closed and open comb razors it was helpful. Think I'll go for the closed comb. Thanks again.

Good information, clearly presented, per usual.

I know that this is a three years old video, but still is very helpful. I started "wet shaving" few months ago using a Gillette C King. Works nice with feather blades for my every day needs. I was thinking for an open comb razor just because everyone says that you can have a better shaving. But after watching this video, i say no...I will look for a "more aggressive" closed comb. Thank you 👍

Thanks for this Brian. We're learning a lot! :)

Very interesting, thanks...was actually wondering about the difference.

Amazing video brian interesting to about defrent types of razers
